Stupid question but, what does Whiny Donny do all day?

Does he try to govern, whatever this mean? Seems like all he cares is about himself.

Someone wondered this morning, when he talked to NYT, why he never mentioned the infrastructure, for example, or other issues that should concern him.

While listening to conservative pundits talk about what he should do. But they use so many big words, all he can remember is "repeal & replace". Those bigger words like "fiscally conservative budget" are too tough to understand.

I was thinking about it recently when I noticed how red his face was.

Someone once told me that this often indicate heart attack risk. Of course, this exercise hating over weight person is supposed to be in the best physical conditions of anyone running for president, as his bizarre doctor claimed.

Stroke waiting to happen. You rarely see men that overweight and unfit live to their mid-70s. Think about it.

President Trump’s schedule for Friday, 7/21/17

10:30 AM Receive daily intelligence briefing – Oval Office
11:30 AM Participate in a credentials ceremony for newly appointed Ambassadors to Washington, D.C. – Oval Office
2:45 PM Visits with survivors from the USS Arizona – Oval Office

I looked at several days and they were all similar, just a couple of ceremonial events. He must spend most of his time watching his shows on Fox. I don't know who is doing the actual work of governance, maybe it's Pence, or Bannon, but it sure isn't Trump.

13. My guess is he's cubicle loafing.

I think he sits in the oval and shuffles papers around, making airplanes, waiting till they want him to sign something.

Oh, and pushing the "bring me a Coke" button.

I thought I read...one of his "improvements"...didn't he install a bigger TV in the oval office media alcove? It was like a 34" and he wanted a 50-60"?
